Haunted

Just a quick note to say that the Halloween story will be appearing as soon as I've finished it. HOPEFULLY that will be tonight, but it might be tomorrow, and appear on Halloween itself. I have to say, it feels good to be writing about Tanith once again, even if she IS ever so slightly evil...

SPOILER OVER

And speaking of Halloween, look at the desktop thingy you can download. Yay desktop thingies!

In keeping with the general creepiness of the season, may I also direct your attention to Haunted, a compilation of ghost stories by various writers, of which I am one. It's out now, and as part of the promotion, the writers are appearing as guests on various blogs around blogland. I had the good fortune of writing a piece for the Bookwitch, which can be found here:

Today is my birthday !!!!! cant wait for friend get friend to finish!!!! hope i win!!!!!! guess what i got and did today!!!! -

I got £50 and bought- a bracelet with a skull, a choker, the 1st el skulduggo book, plasticine, book marks, and a bottle of juice!!!

i went to waterstones !!!!!!!!!!! i saw a poster thingy that says - Our Bestselling Books for Kids, and it has the front cover of deathbringer on it so i asked the nice lady who was working there if i could buy it and she gave me it for free then i asked for the skulduggery happy halloween poster and she said come back on thursday cause thats when we take down the halloween things down and im like "omg i love u " !!!!! :D

Okay, I apologize for excessive linking. The blog in the link I posted is the Blogland Secret Santa Exchange 2011, for fics and poems. It's going to be awesome, but I need more people to join!blogland2011.blogspot.com

IDK how things work over there in that Europe place but over here in America everyone dresses up and goes trick-or-treating, I'm guessing that's what you people with the fancy accents do as well but I'm not sure.

I'm going as the Mad Hatter from Tim Burton Alice and Wonderland and my friends are going as the rest of the characters. We have been working on our costumes for over a year now so they are frekin' AWESOME!!!

We are already planning next years costumes...were thinking of our favorite magical Irish book characters but we think we might have to hold off a few years until your books get SUPER-DUPER famous so people actually know who we are.....

Oh, hi! I really, really love Halloween. Like, if Halloween was a person, I would totally kiss hir. Sadly, we're prolly not going to get many trick or treaters this year, (stupid snow) but at least more candy for me! Yay!

Also, my dad gave me his old iphone, so I can get on here when my laptop isn't permissible. Not xat, though. Has anyone figured that out?

It was a review you replied to, actually. It wasn't really much of a conversation, I wouldn't really expect you to remember it since it was months and months ago. This used to be my ffnet username, but it got changed to Exalted Pancakes when I gave it to my friend.

Our math teacher is awesome. He's insane, does imitation voices, only makes us take a few notes, never gives us full worksheets for homework, and we play math bingo every Friday with lollipops as prizes. It's a ninth-grade-honors-level algebra class.

Well, actually, I have to go to bed now, so I suppose I can. But anyway.

And this reminded me that I ordered Haunted a couple of weeks ago but now that I went to check on whether it's even been dispatched yet, my whole order seems to have gone missing, as if I'd never placed it at all, although I have the original confirmation e-mail... have to find out what's up with that. Boo.

Cassidy - Too true! I bought The Nightmare Before Christmas on dvd a week ago because it was on offer at HMV. I went back to school next week and my friend had bought it for me! ^^' lol. She ended up giving it too her sister.

Ev - my parents somehow know everything I do online, and they would NOT let me make one. You could post a comment on a random one of my posts on either my writing blog or personal blog? I'm the only one who would see it, then I could delete it.

thanks everyone im 13 today :} sweet 13 finally a teenager !!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D yas!!! there is a post on my skulduggery pleasant blog about what i got if u wanna check it jus click on my name then the blog :D or look for a previous post cause its there too lol :D !!!! x

I finished The Faceless Ones last Sunday and have already spoiled myself for Mortal Coil twice so I figure I don't have a lot to lose... It's shocking just how much descriptions of books on Amazon give away for those of us who haven't gotten that far...

Whenever I apply the halloween desktop thingy, it always cuts Skulduggery and Valkyrie's heads off! How are they supposed to see how awesome they look up there?!?!? SKULDUGGERY... HAS... NO... HAT...! AHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! all done.he, he..

That's what I do when I say, "AHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" ann

Flame: I am doing awesome, Flame! I marathoned Halloweentown movies (and kept imagining the cab guy as Skulduggery...)You?Thrust: Go into your system preferences and go to desktop. You should be able to shift the image around a bit until it fits!

All right, this is an EXTREMELY short snippet from my Halloween themed Skulduggery fanfic. It doesn't compare to Derek's writing at all but I tried. *sighs* Enjoy I hope!

“Please go away,” Skulduggery was saying to two costumed girls. But the girls were relentless. “But we’ve got costumes on.” the bottle blonde said. “No one will ever know it’s us!” the redhead said in a pleading tone. Valkyrie hurried over to the Bentley and approached the two girls. “Carol, Crystal. Um, how are you?” Carol pointed an accusing finger at Skulduggery and adjusted her bright pink superhero costume. “I recognized him from Gordon’s hearing. But he won’t let us come on an adventure.” Crystal crossed her arms over her ridiculously inaccurate vampire costume. “And if he was here then we figured you would be coming here too.” Skulduggery looked at Valkyrie with a tilted head. His hair was black and short today and his eyes were a vivid green. He mouthed the words help me. Valkyrie couldn’t help keep an amused smile off her face. Skulduggery had gone up against villainous bad guys, evil gods, and had confronted his inner demon. But now, cornered by two teenage girls, he was openly asking for help.
